    Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara
    Erica G.

    June 3, 2025 ... High School Grads in Oxnard and my 40th bday. Why did I choose Olive Garden when my dad asked where I wanted to go for my bday ? Well .... Nostalgia. Olive Garden was the place we celebrated many many special occasions and I love it for what it is. I know it's not authentic Italian :) It was busy but we got there right before the rush. Salad to start for both my dad and me! I ordered the Shrimp / Chicken carbonara and my dad the chicken Alfredo. We had so much food leftover. It was great! Quick service and our waitress was super friendly! OG has plenty of seating, it is clean and a fave for many!

    Dinner at Olive Garden! Greeted by a kind hostess and were lead to our table promptly. Our server Luis was awesome and had a great energy to him. Got everything perfect on our drinks and food orders. Didn't have to over wait to be served our meal. We all got the Never ending pasta, soup or salad. The pastas were great/flavorful! We know what Olive Garden has to offer and we loved it. Pastas were cooked well, the sauces were good and not salty or watered down. Salad was fresh and Zuppa soup was perfect and had all the fixings and not just broth (thanks Luis for the fresh batch!). The service overall was great. Never had to call for service because all the servers and floor managers were checking on all the tables consistently and communicating. You love to see it! It gets very busy here but it never feels chaotic and you can enjoy your dinner peacefully and still enjoy a good conversation with your family and not be bothered by anything. It may not be authentic Italian food but we love it here. Bonus+ plenty of food to take home especially for the price you pay!

    Tito was the absolute BEST server ever! He was so sweet, attentive, and made our entire experience at Olive Garden even better. He checked on us often, had the best attitude, and truly made us feel taken care of. Please give him all the recognition, he deserves it! Tito fue el MEJOR mesero de todos! Fue tan dulce, atento y realmente hizo que toda nuestra experiencia en Olive Garden fuera aún mejor. Siempre estuvo pendiente de nosotros, tenía la mejor actitud y de verdad nos hizo sentir muy bien atendidos. ¡Por favor denle todo el reconocimiento que merece! Se lo ganó!

    Hopefully none of my Italian family reads this review but I really do love Olive Garden....I just love being able to stuff my face for like $25 and the food here always hits. I don't come often but when I do I always love it. My pro tip is come for lunch on a weekday. You won't find me here for dinner or a weekend as it's much too busy. I definitely understand some of the bad reviews because wait times can be long and this place is overcrowded. However, finding that sweet spot of weekday lunches, I always have good service and get right in and out. I've never had issues the last few times I've come for lunch. Staff are always nice and the food comes out fast. I feel that the staff here are attentive and on top of it. Prices are pretty reasonable as there is always some kind of deal going on here. Endless soup and salad specials, same with pastas. You can't beat the quantity you get for your money. For Americanized Italian food I always think this place serves up tasty food. You have to remember this is an American pasta chain. If you have unrealistic expectations of the food then sure you'll be disappointed. When I come I know I'm getting carbs and lots of sauce. Sounds like a win to me! I love their Alfredo sauce and even the five cheese which is close to a pink sauce. The pasta is always cooked well here and all of their proteins are tasty, I switch between the sausage, meatballs, and fried chicken. The appetizers also slap here too! Got to love me some fried lasagna fritters. For non alcohol drinks I love the peach tea but their cocktail menu isn't too bad itself - lots of fruity fun looking drinks. I know chains get a bad rap but honestly I love me some Olive Garden. Especially this location as they are consistent with the food and have a nice team here on the weekdays.

    Gigi was our server and she was spectacular. Our large party was seated pretty quickly. We were famished and she was quick to take our drinks, orders and appetizer. My sister's meal tasted a little weird and she was quick to bring out a new one. The service was amazing, soups came out quick and plenty of breadsticks. My chicken fettuccine Alfredo was creamy and delicious. The drinks had free refills and everyone was satisfied with their meals. We had two people trying Olive Garden for the first time ever and they enjoyed it, we'd come again!

    I went with two friends and decided to share some apps and one entree. The portions were so big I'm glad I didn't order my own entree!! We also got two side salads along with the one that came with the entree so we can all eat the salad. I was not expecting such a big bill since we shared one entree, 2 apps, 2 side salads and 3 lemonades. Over $90!! That's insane! The food was all tasty and came out quickly. The service was great and so friendly but wow the price

    Upon arrival we were told we would have to wait 10 minutes or so for a table but we were not in a rush so we waited patiently. After we were seated our waitress came over and we placed our drink orders. When she returned with all but one of out drinks we put in our food order. Some time went by and the last drink finally arrived. The food arrived fairly quickly except for my dish which arrived some time later. Everything looked and tasted great except some old lettuce in the salad. We put in for a refill on some drinks but one took a while to be brought out. Then when it was it was incorrect. After waiting for my server I just decided to walk to the bar and exchange it. The bartender said it would be brought to my table but it never came. Finally the waitress realized and said she would get it but I pointed to the empty plates and said "no need". And I ordered a box for my plate which I was no longer hungry for. We paid on the handheld machine and waited for the box that didn't come until I finally saw my server and I asked again. Probably will resist coming back as there are there far better options for this style of food.
